Movie Review: Shadow

Shadow
Director: Federico Zampaglione
Starring: Jake Muxworthy, Chris Coppola, Karina Testa, Ottavino Blitch, Nuot Arquint
Ellemme Group Production, Italy, 2010

Iraq war veteran David goes to mountain cycling on Italian Alps. He meets pretty Angeline who is harassed by British hunters. Later he meets the girl again and they have to flee from the heavily armed angry yobs.

Soon all of them are being hunted by a skinny guy. The skinny nazi enjoys torturing people without any particular reason. They try to escape with bad results. The ending has a surprisingly logical twist.
Not so nice lads
The film manages creating creepy atmosphere. The photography and sceneries are good. The movie is relatively modest in gore (still offering some icky scenes). The music has some nods to the old Italian horror flicks by Dario Argento an Lucio Fulci (also in credits 70s Italian horror directors are acknowledged!).
